In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to use ThingSpeak, a popular IoT platform, with the Raspberry Pi Pico W to collect and visualize sensor data. We’ll be using a BME280 sensor to measure temperature, pressure, and humidity and send this data to ThingSpeak for real-time monitoring and analysis.
ThingSpeak is an open-source Internet of Things (IoT) platform that allows you to collect, store, analyze, visualize, and act on data from sensors or devices. It’s particularly popular for its ease of use and integration with various hardware platforms like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and ESP8266/ESP32.
In the end, we will have a dashboard that looks as follows, a simple weather station with gauges and graphs that updates in real time:
